Media Encoder CC audio question

I have a ProRes standard def file (.mov) with 2 stereo pairs of audio. I am trying to export it to a DVCPROHD Quicktime (.mov) with the same audio configuration.
This seems to be impossible. My audio export options as a Quicktime file with this codec are 1 mono track, 1 stereo pair or 2 mono channels. This would result in a downmix, which I do not want.
There is a setting which allows me to have this video codec and the audio configuration I want, but the resulting file will be in a .mxf wrapper, which I cannot use.
Is there really no way to just do audio passthrough in Media Encoder?

I am running version 8.2.0.54 currently.
So... I start Media Encoder, add a file with 1 video track and 8 discrete channels of audio to the queue, select "QuickTime" for my export, select "custom" from the dropdown under "export settings", select the "audio" tab and go to the "basic audio settings" where I can select the number of audio channels I need under the "channels" pull-down menu.
Yes, this seems to work fine! I wonder why I couldn't get this to work yesterday (or ever, really), despite doing what I thought was exactly that.
Thanks for the help!

Adobe Media Encoder different audio file to video file.

Hello,
I've been encoding files from several different DVD's and when I play the encoded file the video is correct but the audio is from a completely different file. This is I am assuming is because the file names on the DVD's are the same i.e. VTS_01_1.. etc. When I realised it was doing this I permanently deleted the incorrectly encoded files, sorted all of the correctly encoded files into seperate folders for each DVD. This did not work even though media encoder was creating new file names for each file it encoded. I then re-named all of the correct files and re-named the files that I was about to encode. I have also cleared the media cache database. The files on the DVD's are fine and play as they should with the correct audio. What do I need to do to get the files to encode with the correct audio?!!! Thank you!

Try this - in Project Bin, right-click the clip in question and select "Make Offline". Then right-click again and choose "Link Media" and point it to the correct source file. Could be that the pointers got all confused as like you said, as sources had the same names.
If that fails to resolve the problem - cleaning the Media Cache only works for projects that no longer exist, or are on a drive that is disconnected. Assuming that maybe the Conformed audio that is being used in the background is messed up, try this - close Premiere, then RENAME the project file, for instance add an "x" to beginning of filename. Now open Premiere (new project), then clean the cache again. Since it can't find your project, it should then remove all temp renders from the drive for that project.
Next, rename project to original name and open and it should conform audio again as if just adding media for the first time. Hopefully for correct clips this time, if you have moved media around on drive to eliminate overlap of file names.

CS4 Pro Export to Media Encoder has Audio, Titles, w/out Video

My Sequence is complete and looks great in the Program playback. I am exporting through Media Encoder and all goes well. I Media Encoder the Output looks great as well! The encoding takes about three minutes ends successfully. Yet, when I open the movie I have sound, titles all without video (black screen). I have tried many output formats including quitcktime & h.264 and different presets all with the same result. What's up?

Thanks for the assist! My Export Settings for my latest attempt:
Format: Quicktime / Preset: NTSC DV
Video: 720x480, 29.97 (fps), lower, quality
Audio: 48000 Hz, Stereo, 16 biy
DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
Anything else?

Flash Media Encoder 8 - audio problem

I'm having an audio problem with Flash Media Encoder 8. I am
converting a long Quicktime movie to Flash - about 28 minutes.
After encoding, when I play it back, at about the 20 minute mark
the audio just drops out. I've developed somewhat of a workflow and
have done this with similar Quicktime files many times and have not
had this problem. Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be
happening? Anyone else see this?
Some specs:
Flash 8, Mac OSX 10.4.10, MacBook Pro C2D

Five Pi,
It may have something to do with the audio rate in your QT
video. When using encoder, make sure your audio rate of your QT
file is higher than the audio rate of your Encoder settings.
Its just a guess, I have had the same problems, but I set the
audio quality to very high when exporting from Final Cut Pro, and
then set them to medium quality in encoder, and no more audio
problems.

Media Encoder CC mpeg2 Question

Basically what the title says. Where exactly is the option to format a video into an mpeg2 file? I've been Googling this to death. I know I've seen some people say they had it, then it disappeared. But I literally just downloaded Media Encoder and its nowhere to be found. Even under the DVD and Blue-ray section, the only options are for Blue-ray. I need to burn a wedding video onto a DVD. Is there something special you have to do to get this done? Are there limits on the free trial version that don't allow mpeg2 downloads? Help!

Are you using AME CC 2014? MPEG2 is included in AME under more strict license than other formats and is only activated only if you have Premiere Pro CC 2014, AfterEffects CC 2014 or Prelude CC 2014. If you are using them under a free trial, MPEG2 becomes unavailable after a trial period expires. After a trial has been expired, AME CC 2014 can be used extra 30 more days, but without MPEG2.
If you already used up a trial period, you can either 1) install one of three apps I mentioned earlier that you haven't installed before and activate it as a trial or 2) purchase a subscription for Creative Cloud. #1 option allows you to use MPEG2 30 more days. With #2 option, you can use MPEG2 as long as you keep your subscription active. I hope this helps.

Adobe Media Encoder de-interlace question

My video in the preview displays horribly interlaced, this is odd because the footage in the timeline displays correctly and clearly as well as my original footage. What seems to be the problem, I've tried rendering with de-interlace as well, it still shows fairly bad after being rendered.
All my original footage is 1280x720, 25fps.
My settings:
Format: H.264
Range: Entire Sequence
NTSC, 1280x720, 25[fps], Progressive
AAC, 160 [kbps], 48 kHz, Stereo
VBR, 2 Pass, Target 8.00, Max 8.00 [Mbps]
Video Codec: MainConcept H.264 Video
TV Standard: NTSC
Width: 1280 px
Height: 720 px
FPS: 25Field Order: None(progressive)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Widescreen 16:9
Profile: Main
Level: 4
Bitrate Encoding: VBR, 2 Pass
Target/Maximum Bitrate: 8
Attached Files to show ya what I mean.
Rendering an uncompressed video yeilds the same results as Media Encoder.

On further inspection, Even still renders are interlaced like mad...
What's wrong?!
EDIT:
I fixed it!!! Apparently when speeding up or slowing down clips, it merges the frames together giving off that horrible look! So I turned off "frame blend" And it looks super awesome.

Media Encoder turns audio into white noise!

I'm running CS5.5 on an intel Mac 10.6.5, and i have been having problems encoding to flv.
All my videos are edited the same way, and using the same formats etc, yet recently I have found that when converting to .flv, some will work fine, and others will have the audio replaced by white noise.
I cannot figure out what the problem could be. I have also tried using the CS5 version and that is having the same issues.
Checking through the video specs, it appears that the one difference is that the ones which worked fine are all Apple ProRes 422 HQ files, and the ones which failed are Apple 10bit Uncompressed. The strange thing is the audio is the same for both. Yet when the encode problem happens, the video for both is fine, its just the audio where the problem appears.
Anyone else seen this problem? or better still have a solution?
adam

I've answered it myself.
The problem relates to using Uncompressed 10bit movie files...seems the CS5 versions have a problem handling the audio on these. The solution for me was to run the files through Compressor first and change them to Apple ProRes422, before running them through AME.
works every time now!
now if only i could find the bug report form....

Media Encoder CS5 audio export problem

I was trying to convert a .mov to flv/f4v, the video was fine but audio was distorted, pitch wet down, sounding like a battery-low device playing back some crappy stuff. Tried many different settings but no luck. Am I missing any codecs?
Actually I was fine with this kind of conversion before my mac crashed and then reinstalled a week ago. I'm on OS X 10.6.2. Frustrated, appreciate if someone can help.

seems i did answer this myself last year!
i need to re-ecode the source material in a format other than 10bit uncompressed for Encoder to be happy with it. I thought the file was already Prores - must be an older file thats causing the trouble.

Why wont my audio/video transitions render in media encoder

when im rendering a project from PP in media encoder the audio/video transitions i added to my project dont show up in the rendered version of the video (the affter affects compositions i added show up though) but when i open the project back up in PP there they are. am i just not applying them correctly, or is there an extra step to link them to the clips or something. im still new to the software so you'll probably have to explain this to me in very basic terms. thanks

I don't use Photoshop for video so am having to guess here, but you say H.264 but not what preset you are using. In PremPro there are something like a 100 prest options for H.264 Try something like Vimeo HD 1080p 29.97, but instead of exporting the entire video, drag the markers under the video preview window, to contain just enough to see if it is working. That will save you a heap of time. Can you select VBR 2 pass from the Citrate settings in media encoder? The Vimeo setting of 5Mbs for the target bitrate should easily give you nice transitions, but you can up that if you like, at the expense of file size.

Old quicktime with flash layer + adobe media encoder

Hi,
I have some quicktime .mov files.
These play fine in the older quicktime 6
They do not play in the newer quicktime 7
I posted about this issue at a Quicktime forum and discovered it is an issue with the flash layer in the newer quicktime.
These files do not display in Adobe Media Encoder.
My question is how is Adobe Media encoder affected by the Quicktime codecs?
Would removing Quicktime 7 from my machine and installing an older version effect AME?
Would it then be able to se the files and encode them to f4v?
If not are there any other solutions?
Rather desperate, I am doing a site for an animator and all the content I have been provided with is like this.
I could send a sample file if needed
Thanks
mark

Anders,
I have to make sure we are talking about the same thing. In the Effects Control Panel, you twirled open the Opacity intrinsic effect and clicked on the stopwatch to create a keyframe, correct?
I ask this because you can also adjust the Opacity by using the clip's opacity "rubber band" in the timeline, but no keyframes get added there unless you use the Pen tool or a modifier key in combination with the selection tool.
For the workaround to fix the issue, a keyframe has to be created.
-Jeff
PS - You're welcome. :)

Media Encoder Issues After Upgrade from CS4 to CS5

I've been running CS4 and doing encoding to .flv and .f4v formats for sometime now without any issues. I downloaded Photoshop CS5 and then the entire design CS5 suite soon after. Since then, I can not encode videos properly. Both CS4 Media Encoder and CS5 Media Encoder export audio with no video.
Any ideas of what might have happened? Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Justin

You shouldn't be running version 5.5 of the Camera Raw plug-in in CS4 either. Update to ACR 5.7 ASAP.
One should ALWAYS run the LATEST release of ACR for your version of Photoshop, no exceptions. Each new release brings unheralded, unannounced and sometimes even unacknowledged bug fixes and improvements, beyond support for newer cameras.
Staying with an older version just because your camera is already supported by it is a very<euphemism>unwise</euphemism> decision.

Export Media in Premiere Pro CS6 ONLY produces an Audio File in Media Encoder

First, all the system info:
Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1
Intel HD Graphics 3000 Display Adapter
I’m using Premiere Pro CS6 Version 6.0.5 (001 (MC: 264587)) “Mighty Kilt”
Version 6.0.3.1 (64 Bit) of Adobe Media Encoder CS6
Other Adobe applications installed: AIR, Creative Cloud, Download Assistant, Encore CS6 Library, Flash Player 12 ActiveX, Flash Player 12 Plugin, Help Manager, Premiere Pro CS6, Premiere Pro CS6 Functional Content, Reader XI
I’ve run check for updates on both Premiere Pro and Media Encoder and everything is up to date
I'm producing a two disc, dual layer DVD set for 100 families of my son's marching band.
I have a half hour "masterwork" of interviews, performance segments, rehearsal sequences, credits, etc that I've edited together complete with sound, etc.
I also then have various other video segments from the season, some high quality (1920x1080) and some lower quality.
Rather than import everything into Encore and have Encore transcode them all at the same quality, I wanted to ensure that the half-hour piece and certain other segments were transcoded as high quality as possible and given the largest file sizes I could and then transcode other segments at lower quality levels as needed so everything would fit on the discs.
The company I'm using to duplicate/replicate the 100 DVDs from my Master DVD advised me to encode them FIRST in Premiere Pro as desired, and THEN import those files into Encore.
I've used Adobe Media Encoder a lot to export the individual segments into files I could upload to Youtube and have had no problem for the last several months.
But now, two things happen:
1) AME automatically designates the "Output File" with an .aac extension (see attached)
2) When I do an "Import As" of the AME encoded file in Encore it only loads an audio file (obviously)
Huh?
Here are the settings I use in my Export Media dialogue in Premiere Pro CS6:
Format: MPEG2-DVD
Preset: NTSC Widescreen High Quality
Output Name (and filetype): ______ name with Save as Type of "Video Files(*.mpg)
BOTH the "Export Video" and "Export Audio" boxes are checked (see attached screen print)
Filters Tab: left as is, don't do anything here
Multiplexer Tab:
choose the "DVD" button (vs the "None" button)
Bitrate Type: left as Variable which is what is selected as a default
Video Tab:
Codec: Reads MainConcept MPEG Video
Quality: increase it to the max of 5
TV Standard: NTSC
Frame Rate: 29.97
Field Order: None (Progressive)
Pixel Aspect Ration: Widescreen 16:9
Render at Maximum Depth box checked
Bitrate Encoding: I choose CBR for my high quality segments and VBR 2-pass for my lower quality segments
Bitrate: kick it up to the max for high qulaity segments, adjust as needed to get the filesize I want for my lower quality segments
Audio Tab:
Audio Format: Dolby Digital
Codec: Dolby Digital
Bitrate: At least 320, sometimes higher for the segments I want to be the highest quality
I check the "Use Maximum Render Quality" box
I chose "Queue" for everything and then let it run overnight
And yes, the original media has BOTH a video track and an audio track that works (see Screenprint)
So... what am I doing wrong, helpful experts????

Larry, Mark, Jim & Bill -
It is 1 am Tuesday morning and I'd do a primal scream if my family weren't all sleeping upstairs.
Somewhere along the way, I either read or was given the advice to just skip AME, load my videos as timelines in Encore, and just do the transcoding there.
I spent almost a day trying to figure out how to get "buttons" for my menus I was building (they weren't appearing in Encore's library like they should) and eventually found a simply workaround.
So I then spent the last 24 hours or so building all my menus, creating small clips for my "motion menu" buttons, getting all that straightened away.
Got really excited earlier tonight since it seemed like I was nearly finished and coming down the home stretch.
I hit "build" in Encore, went away for a couple hours, and came back to find a big error message awaiting me telling me that "Encoding Failed."
I have read a lot of posts, and the outlook is not good, or at least the possible solution not simple or short from a time perspective.
I have a 100 families awaiting their DVD they've paid for that they initially were told they'd have by mid-February. I've been telling everybody that they would have it - guaranteed - by this weekend when there's a band festival that would be ideal for distribution. The DVD duplication company says they have to have it by Wed morning at the absolute latest. Meaning I've got about 24 hours to figure this out and burn my dual-layer masters of the two DVDs or once again tell people "I know I guaranteed you'd have it by this weekend, but I don't have it ready yet."
Almost as importantly, I can't afford to keep spending the hours and hours and hours on this that I have. It's impacting my personal and professional life.
Thus the primal scream.
The posts I read about the encoding failure all pretty much advise that I use AME to do all the transcoding work. Which of course brings me squarely back to my original problem: I cannot get a video file out of AME.
I'm embedding a screenshot of what I see when I click on the pull-down menu in the AME dialogue window. The problem: there is no MPEG2-DVD option listed to be chosen.
Although I'm relatively new to forums, I've read enough posts by now that it seems like most people are in crisis mode when they post. So I realize my situation is not all that unique. But from a newbie rookie in the field to you experts, I REALLY could use some assistance right now, because between this and the long, cold winter we've had, I'm about to lose it. :-)
P.S. Mark, in answer to your question about frame rates, I have 18 different videos/films/projects that I'm including in my two DVD-set. There have probably been nearly 6-7 different cameras that have contributed footage to one or more of those films by borrowing camcorders of different brands and types and quality levels from people. Nearly every one of those 18 films have multi-camera sequences in them. And many films are collections of sequences which themselves are "nested sequences" sometimes three deep. In otherwords, there is no way I can tell you all the various frame rates that may be represented among these 18 separate projects and I certainly can't go back and hope to change them all to the same one.
Help. Please. :-)

CS4 Audio Sync Issues After Render in Media Encoder

I'm editing a 6-part online promotional video right now using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, using MPEG footage (MTS) imported from a Panasonic AG-HMC40 AVCCAM HD. Upon rendering each video to a Quicktime mov in Adobe Media Encoder, there's always at least one instance in each video where the audio is out of sync or there is a 1 to 2 second jitter in the video. Otherwise, the final product looks flawless.When viewed in the timeline, the video/audio mesh perfectly (although, if I keep re-playing the problem clips in the timeline, I can occassionally see some jitters). The same issues occur when rendering to H.264 Youtube Widescreen HD.
Anyone have any suggestions?
File Info:
Type: MPEG Movie
Image Size: 1280 x 720
Pixel Depth: 32
Frame Rate: 23.976
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Average Data Rate: 2.1 MB / second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0

No, there is no blacklisting here. Now, some might be a tad confused by "Render" in the title, but I'd expect them to read, and understand. I just pointed that out, to avoid confusion down the thread. I expected to read of a Render messing up the sync, but it became very clear exactly where your issue was occurring.
I wish that I had more to add, than a question on the H.264 CODEC, but have not encountered this myself. I'm only relying on what seems to have worked for others, and might not have any bearing on your issue.
Good luck,
Hunt

Can Adobe Live Media Encoder encode with Left audio only?

Hi all,
I have a live feed video that contain dual audio (left = Englisg, right = Chinese).
Can i use Adobe Live Media Encoder to encode with English audio mono ONLY so that FMS can stream it to user with left&right = English audio?
Thank you.

Are you talking about Adobe media Live encoder and "Adobe media Server"...Just can publish from "Adobe media Live encoder" and publish to "Adobe media server"..
This is a adobe media server forum...and your question it seems lies in the domain of encoders.

Media Encoder CC hangs when working with 96/24 audio

Title says it all! Has anyone else had this problem with Media Encoder CC? I just upgraded from CS5.5 to CC, and there were no issues with encoding 96/24 audio with CS5.5. I can reduce the audio files to 48/16 and theres no issue, but all the asset files for audio are in 96/24 and I'd of course rather work with the high resolution audio. I've tried searching the interwebz on the issue but can't find anything specific to the audio causing Encoder to hang. Thanks!

Update: We have discovered an issue where you can get this behavior if the source is a Premeire Pro sequence whose sample rate doesn't match that of the clips in that sequence. The solution is to match the sample rate of your sequence to that of your clips. Please let me know if this does not resolve your issue.
Thanks,
Tom
I had some 96/16 audio from an H4n recorder. AME just sat there. Also had the same problem exporting directly from PPro without using AME. Just sat there, no error, just nothing.
Changed the final sequence samples to 96kHz sampling and problem solved. That's a real bummer, since Adobe definitely pushes the sort of "edit anything" mantra a lot, and having to tailor sequence settings to a recently added audio clip is a step in the wrong direction. Glad to know it CAN be fixed, since these renders need to happen, but need that one patched up.
